Piruz was born in Cairo in a family of Armenian descent on 15 March 1943. Her sister Nelly also entered the entertainment industry. She began her acting career very young, making her debut at the age of 7 in the 1950 film Yasmine. Egyptian director Anwar Wagdi was helpful to her in her career. She ultimately retired from acting at 15, in 1959, to wed comedian Badreddine Gamgoum (بدر الدين جمجوم). The couple had two children together, Iman and Ayman.
